Why does the BBC always include context like "Iran-backed Houthis" and "Hamas-run hospital" but never "US-backed IDF" or "indicted-war-criminal Benjamin Netanyahu"?

I met an educated Tunisian woman who grew up and studied in Tunisia. She’s visiting Namibia next month, and she mentioned that it will be her first time in Africa🥺

I look forward to playing my part to getting more Tanzanian students to attend this great institution. A special thanks to my sister @IdaHadjivayanis . P.S. Look out for me in the next marketing brochures for Undergraduate and Postgraduate prospective students. #SOAS #SOASian.
Lovely to wake up to people making good choices somewhere in the world. Congratulations to @ZohranKMamdani and New York!
New Yorkers have this amazing opportunity to vote for Zohran #Mamdani - I saw his poster when I was in NY this March and his stance on social justice resonated with me. I hope people of NY vote for him.
In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done. My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it. I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.
Leo nilienda UDSM. Majengo mapya mengi lakini nyumba za walimu za zamani duh! Fleti niliyokaa miaka 30 iliyopita ilikuwa imechakaa tayari na inaonekana, angalau kwa nje kwamba haijaguswa tangu wakati ule. Chuo kinapata ada kibao, na vitegauchumi pia, kwa nini hawajali walimu?

The West has emboldened Netanyahu and now seems to have lost control over him. He will plunge the Middle East into war and threaten our entire World! The war that should have been avoided ft.com/content/d0dd87… via @ft

Just applied for a Kenya ETA. $30 and I got it within a minute of applying. So impressed! All visas should be this straight forward!
We launched DHULMA with so much Love and Warmth - with friends, family and colleagues - magical evening! Loved the camaraderie between Abdulrazak Gurnah and Walter Bgoya and support of both to me - loved that my parents there! Asante nyote - hasa Serena T na Clarissa Vierke.
